Simplicity 2691335-02 Broadmoor Parts Manual

To change the oil, first warm up the engine, then turn it off and remove the key. Locate the oil drain valve, place a container underneath, and open the valve to drain the old oil. Replace the drain valve, remove the oil filter, and install a new one. Finally, refill with the recommended type and quantity of oil.
Check the battery connections and ensure they are clean and tight. Verify that the fuel tank has fresh gasoline. Check the spark plug for wear and replace if necessary. Ensure the PTO and throttle controls are in the correct position. If none of these steps resolve the issue, consult a professional technician.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the cutting height adjustment lever, usually found near the driver's seat. Move the lever to the desired position, which corresponds to the height settings indicated on the mower deck. Ensure the deck is level before starting to mow.
Excessive vibration can be caused by a damaged blade, unbalanced blade, or debris stuck in the mower deck. Inspect the blades for damage and balance them if necessary. Clean the deck thoroughly. If the vibration persists, check the spindle assembly for wear.
Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil and oil filter, inspecting and replacing the air filter, checking tire pressure, sharpening mower blades, lubricating moving parts, and inspecting belts for wear. Follow the maintenance schedule outlined in the owner's manual for optimal performance.
To store the tractor for winter, clean the exterior and mower deck thoroughly. Add a fuel stabilizer to the gasoline tank and run the engine for a few minutes. Change the oil and filter, remove the battery, and store it in a cool, dry place. Cover the tractor with a tarp or store it in a shed.
Ensure the PTO switch is in the "on" position. Check the belt driving the blades for tension and wear and replace if necessary. Inspect the PTO clutch for functionality. If the problem persists, it may indicate an electrical issue or a failed component that requires professional assessment.
To replace the drive belt, first ensure the tractor is on a flat surface and the engine is off. Remove the mower deck by detaching the pins and connectors. Release the tension on the belt tensioner and remove the old belt. Install the new belt, ensuring it is routed through the pulleys correctly, and reattach the mower deck.
Use fresh unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 and avoid gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol. Always use clean fuel containers and consider using a fuel stabilizer if the fuel will sit for extended periods.
To improve traction on wet grass, consider using tire chains or upgrading to tires with a more aggressive tread pattern. Ensure the tire pressure is set correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Adding weights to the rear of the tractor can also help increase traction.
